I was thinking about spraying my grey plastics to black. Do you think these would be suitable to use (below). Can anyone tell me, who has sprayed there plastics black, did they spray it gloss, satin or matt black.

I think the satin or gloss would look better, what do you guys think

Nice, bet it looks good. I might buy the primer and lacquer from ebay and buy the black paint from halfords. The paint is £6.99 for each spray can, so it would cost around £50

They look brilliant, if i could get mine to look half as good, i would be very happy. Black gloss it is, now just need a free weeked to do it

Any close up pics? I'm considering doing mine but think gloss may stand out too much against my panther black. I prefer the stealth look

I meant spray them satin lol. I didn't see your first post so i thought i was the only one to say satin and felt outvoted, thats what the face was for. Satin looks so much better, more stealthy =]
